Hello everyone, I am here with chapter 4. The song Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver is not mine. The song will be into three parts. Male, Female, Duet.

"Can you let me go please?" Zack asked as his ex-girlfriend let go of his arm as they were far enough from the ear shot of the others. "So, tell me, you came here after the guy cheated on you?" Zack said, rubbing his arm, feeling the Indian burn. "No, I still remember you walking away and ignoring me" Adeline looked down and avoided Zacks eyes.

"What do you mean no?" Zack asked "I mean I didn't kiss him back, I felt his tongue enter my mouth, which is what you saw but I bit his tongue I tried to get away to tell you that I didn't kiss him back but he grabbed me and I slapped him and that's when I saw you at your locker throwing away all of our pictures and poems." She said as she began crying. Zack wasn't sure if he should hug her or not because of her being a Huntress of Artemis.

Zack softly hugged her and wiped her tears "I'm an idiot" Adeline smiled and laughed as she nodded her head and Zack smiled with her. "Let's go back, and… if you want, as friends, I would like to take you out to Whataburger if we all survive this quest?" Zack asked as his friend tilted her head "so you want to take me where we had our first date… but as friends?" Zack blushed as he remembered how his date went with his best friend turned girlfriend. He then slowly nodded his head as she smiled. "Sounds good to me now lets' get some food!" She said as Zack followed a few feet behind her.

They came back with Artemis and the others glaring at Zack as Adeline gave him a plate of duck and pork. "Thank you… miss" Zack said as he walked over to the boys and Thaila. "I see you're still alive, which reminds me…" Percy grins as he leans his hand toward the siblings "… pay up Graces. I won the bet" Zack sat down as Percy was given lots of the Greek currency.

"Did all ya'll just bet if I was comin' back with a wound?" Zack asked as he tore into his duck. "Yep, and we lost" Thaila grumbled as we continued to eat the meat. "It's been a long time since I had duck, it's very good" Thaila nodded her head as the group ate until their plates were empty.

"Thank you for the meal Lady Diana. The meat was very delicious." Jason said as he bowed in front of the Roman form of Artemis. "You are welcome Champion of Juno, I will allow for you and these men to stay for the night, but to stay in a tent away from the others." She said as she picked up the three plates.

"We will Lady Diana. Thank you for your hospitality." He then stood up and went to where Percy and Zack waited for the news. "So, what's the news Superman?" Zack smirked as Percy got glared at by Jason. "I hate that nickname. Anyway, she said we can stay, away from her hunters and your girlfriend Zack." Jason said as Zack looked to the ground.

"She's my… friend all right, I made a mistake, thinking the worse and apparently, Artemis found her after I broke her heart." Zack said as a breeze from the north came and chilled them "I'm going to bed, goodnight ya'll." Zack said as he went behind a tree to pee and thought about how things would have changed if he hadn't run off. "I really am an idiot. I promised myself to never make a girl cry, and yet I did it." Zack said punching a tree in frustration.

"Well that must of hurt. I take it that you have some ambrosia with you grandson of Aphrodite?" Artemis said, spooking Zack as he turned and bowed. "Rise your head boy and answer my question please." Zack stood and told her that he had some in his backpack. "Before you leave ma'am may I ask to borrow an arrow from you. I have a theory who my father is but I would just like to clarify it." He asked as the Goddess handed him a silver arrow.

As he grabbed it smoke began to rise after a minuet of holding the arrow. Zack growled in pain as he dropped the arrow, however it did not touch the ground, but flew back the goddess hand. Zack then dug into his backpack and drank some nectar to heal his burn. "I take it you found out who your father is boy?" Artemis asked as he nodded his head. "Thank you for letting us stay here for the night Lady Artemis, goodnight ma'am." Zack said as she nodded and both went into their tents.

-Next Morning-

"Hey Kelp Head wake up before I zap you!" The boys all got up, bumping heads, giving out yelps. "I forgot they wake up before Apollo rises in his car" Percy mummers as Jason got out first to stretched. A few minutes later the other boys joined the siblings as Artemis in her twelve-year-old form and Adeline came into their line of sight.

"Good morning Lady Artemis" Zack said kneeling to the ground, followed by the rest of the small group. "Well, this is a surprise. Most demigods don't bow to often to us, except when in the presence of Zeus." Artemis said as Percy stood up. "Given Jason and I's heritage it would be unwise to stay a moment longer Lady Artemis." The goddess nodded her head as she gave the group, along with the huntress, Adeline.

-One Hour Later-

The small group reached a small diner in West Virginia, making their way to a forest with a large pack of wolves, seen by local farmers. Zack opened the door for Adeline but she shook her head. "Thanks, but I'm good, remember I'm still a huntress" She smiled as he nodded. A waitress greeted them and they chose a booth to seat in. As they sat down, the old couple heard a song in the background they both recognized.

"Don't you dare…" Adeline glared as Zack smirked and started to sing and tapping his fingers to the music on the table. "Almost heaven, West Virginia… Blue Ridge Mountains. Shandra River" Zack began to sing as Adeline decided to join in. "Life is old there, older than the trees" "younger than the mountains, blowing like the breeze. Country roads, take me home…" "To the place, I belong… West Virginia" "Mountain momma. Take me home, oh country roads."

The duo sang as the room began to be filled with clapping, along with Percy, and Jason. "All my memories, they gather around her" "miners' lady, stranger to blue water." "Dark and dusty, painted on the sky… misty taste of moonshine, tear drop in my eye. Country roads take me home, to the palace… I belong!" "West Virginia mountain momma country roads." At that time, Percy ordered everyone coke to drink as Zack continued to sing.

"I hear her voice in the morning hour that she calls me, radio reminds me of my home far away. But I've got a feeling that I should have been home, yesterday…" Zack paused to breath as the waiter came back with their drinks. "That was very good singing you two did, I take it one of you are a child of the sun God?" The waiter asked, giving the drinks to the teens as they all drew their weapons.

"Easy demigods. I am one of you" he said pulling up a sleeve and they saw a tattoo of the legion. "A child of Mercury?" Jason said, wondering what he was doing working here. "Just based on how well you two sung, I'll give you guys free refills and 25% off your meal." He said as he took the orders of the four teens.

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Next time is the big fight and the last part of the prophecy.
